Violent Night movie storyline. Christmas Eve, 2022. Having spent centuries bringing gifts and spreading holiday cheer to children around the world, disillusioned Santa Claus now toys with the idea of hanging up his boots.

Now, there’s no turning back. Are the bad guys prepared for an unlikely opponent and a long, bloody, violent night?
